Hello, new hair color… raspberry and apricot! My super-stylist, Isolde, put in layers of Joico K-Pak Color Intensity. Parts are highlighted with bleach, and my natural black remains underneath.

For a pin-up style like this, you absolutely need a professional flat iron like Karmin G3 Salon Pro. I tested one from Beauty Stop Online, and the results are notably better.

A flat iron is one of the most versatile tools because it can shape, straighten and curl.

The Karmin G3 Salon Pro comes in a Gothic Rococo box and zip-up case. Basil Farrow sniffs it out.

Why is this a pro iron? It’s made with pure tourmaline ceramic plates, the best on the market. Tourmaline heats fast and evenly, and adds negative ions for smooth, sleek hair.

My hair requires high heat, so I was happy that the Karmin dials up to 460 F. The microchip temperature control maintains consistency and prevents damage.

Your hair is like Humpty Dumpty: once it’s damaged, you can’t put it together again. Especially for those with colored hair, I say invest in a quality hair iron with pure tourmaline, like the Karmin G3 Salon. You can find more pro haircare, nail and makeup products on Beauty Stop Online.

PS: People always ask me, “how do you keep your hair in good condition, when you always bleach and color it?” I explain in a Qwiki video: genetics, professional hair stylist, high-quality hair tools, and not over-washing. Watch my presentation above and on Qwiki.

More madness from the Food Network TV shoot: giving Bob Blumer a Goth makeover, and visiting the surreal frog-pond experience that is Kagaya.

Someone’s about to jump out of the closet, wearing a bizarre costume.

Kagaya is possibly my favorite restaurant in the world. The food is delicious: I love the kabocha (pumpkin).

On the other end of the scale… Mayonnaise Kitchen is the most disgusting theme cafe I’ve encountered.

I explain the Japanese love of mayonnaise, especially the Kewpie brand, and how the ingredients and texture are a bit different from the Western version.

Personally, I don’t get it. Every dish in this restaurant is doused in mayo — blehh.
